Use of taxi charging points by other vehicles (2)

  • Reference: 2019/20127
  • Question by: Caroline Russell

Thank you for your answer to my question 2019/17403. How many Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) have been issued for vehicles other than taxis stopped within an E-taxi bay?

Braille handrails

  • Reference: 2019/20126
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 14 November 2019
A constituent has drawn my attention to guidance on accessible station design from Japan, which shows the use of braille on handrails to provide navigational information ( https://tokyo2020.org/en/organising-committee/accessibility/data/access… ). Will you ask Transport for London (TfL) to review this practice and consider its use in London?

Sarah Hope Line

  • Reference: 2019/20125
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 14 November 2019
In September 2019 I visited the Sarah Hope Line with other members of the Transport Committee to see their work to support people affected by serious incidents involving Transport for London (TfL) services. Caseload figures shared with the Committee show that most of the support they give is for users of public transport services. Will you promote the Sarah Hope line to people involved in serious collisions while walking and cycling on London’s roads?

Community Road Watch

  • Reference: 2019/20124
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 14 November 2019
Constituents are surprised by your answer to my question 2019/17407 where you stated: “there has been no reduction in the offer of Community Road Watch (CRW) schemes in London. The Metropolitan Police Service has simply made some administrative changes in the back office.” I have now heard from volunteers in several boroughs that their local police will only support up to two or three CRW sessions per month and that they can only last up to 45 minutes each. Are these limits due to “changes in the back office” or are there other reasons for this cut to CRW sessions?

Travel assistance in London

  • Reference: 2019/20123
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 14 November 2019
A constituent has raised concerns with me about a recent difficult journey. They suffered delays due to an out-of-order lift, poor understanding of train/platform gaps at a station and miscommunication between staff at different stations, which made for an exhausting and extended late-night trip. Journeys for people who need step-free access often depend on a combination of Transport for London (TfL) and National Rail services. What are you doing to ensure there is full cooperation and understanding between staff at all London stations so that disabled passengers can rely on assistance across the transport network?

Silvertown Road Tunnel and Greenwich Council

  • Reference: 2019/20122
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 14 November 2019
Greenwich Council’s lead group of councillors has sent you a letter requesting you pause the signing of the Silvertown Road Tunnel contract. What, if any, meetings have you had to discuss the alternative crossings Greenwich councillors are interested in, including further Docklands Light Railway links?

Hopper fare

  • Reference: 2019/20121
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 14 November 2019
Could you provide a table showing the total number of bus journeys each financial year since 2011-12 and, for the years from 2016-17, including a column showing the total number of journeys made using the Hopper bus fare?

Surface access at Heathrow

  • Reference: 2019/20120
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 14 November 2019
Further to my question 2016/4135, what is Transport for London's latest estimate of the surface access costs of an expanded Heathrow Airport? Please provide a total estimate and a cost breakdown.

Memorial for victims of the Great Smog

  • Reference: 2019/20119
  • Question by: Caroline Russell
  • Meeting date: 14 November 2019
According to research from the Met Office ( https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/learn-about/weather/case-studies/g…) 12,000 Londoners lost their lives in the Great Smog of 1952. Will you consider a memorial for these lives lost?
